Okay, so, I don't know how I missed this, but I'm glad to have found this post and begin this journey with you.
I know you're a long way forward, but then again, perhaps not. After all, isn't this about the journey of life and working through it as best we can?
I've studied a number of alternative energy/mind theories along the way. Always seeking. Finding some relief, and helping others too, but it seems to be a never-ending journey. Writing, for me, and easing into honesty has helped the most.
It's tough growing up and learning that lying is the safest journey and what is expected. It takes a lot of courage to show up honestly. I think that's what I admire the most about you and what I take from your writing.
I'm still not there. But I take baby steps in the right direction and move the boundaries out just a little more; it's a process. I will be reading more of your work as it unfolds. I'll be asking questions. Sharing tidbits from my own experiences. Keeping the dialogue going.
I don't care that you're not a doctor. For me, that's a benefit. Just saying. 💛
And sorry... the doctors comment.
There are a few good ones. So I shouldn't really say that.
In fact, I met two. But only two out of many.
One who explained that the medical fraternity had no idea of what schizophrenic reaction even is and that it was just a blanket term thrown over a whole bunch of inexplicable reactions.
And one who... when I floundered with a moment of self-doubt... looked me square in the eye and said, "Nicole, stop it! You know exactly what is going on."
These two individuals (who took the time to listen and find out more background history), probably, saved my life.
So... it's just finding the diamonds in the rough, I guess.
I think that's in every field, every walk of life and when you meet them, you feel the difference. Completely! 💛
:) Yes. (Like you)
I have something to request and you can totally say no! I enjoy it when people have healthy boundaries.
But your discord please?
Sent you a friend request from discord x
Awesome sauce.
Wrote it here.
Will send Telegram or WA number if you're keen.
If not don't stress. I know exactly how busy you are!
Dying to get this one finished so I can have fun again!
I basically want you to become my editor.
Mine had to step back for personal reasons and we went separate ways when I said blockchain or bust.
It's why Ch 2 was a bit wordy and too passionate 😁 He was my restraint (although he will be most please there were no actual swear words this time!)
Don't run away, please.
You will get all the rewards, of course. If there are any. And a brain to pick for free. 👍
I'd need a rewrite of Ch 2 for the free book, and CH 3 (and maybe 4) edited by you with rewards to go to you.
And the final post releasing the e-book same.
And CH 2 can happen at your leisure. It's 3 and 4 I want out asap as it ties all of this together.
Lol! I won't run. I only saunter, flicking my hair, as I wave goodbye.
But, I don't do that to friends. It's an interesting proposition. One, I think would be best to discuss.
I am busy at the moment, but... I am also tempted.
But let's talk. Either Discord or Zoom or WA or Telegram. There are so many choices. You pick! Hehe!
Perhaps, we can begin chatting in Discord and work out a time that suits us both.
I think what you're doing is really needed. xxx
😆
I may antagonize you just to witness that!
Have sent WA and Telegram number so as it suits you.
Or I'll send email addy as well, in fact. I'll be on the go again in the next few days so email will also work.
Thanks for considering it. Alan did a lot of Ch 2 so it really just needs all of the repetition and mouthy me removed.
Ch 3 will be super sort and simple!
Ch 4 really just lists so I can probably do that on my own but glance over it would be wonderful.
If you can't no sweat. There are other great writers on here I can ask. But I think you have an interest in the content so...
Ping me on WA or Telegram when you have a moment to chat, please. 🙏
Said hello on WA x
Hello, beautiful soul 🌸
Nice to see you! Glad you found it.
It's a journey without an end to the learning. Absolutely :)
Your mention of honesty. THE most important thing, in my experience as well. It's only when we are honest that we either ask for help or start to make the changes ourselves - for the things that aren't working.
Recovery is impossible without it. 👍
Very sad that people have to learn to do it so effectively as kids to protect themselves yes. And so many get lost along the way and never find a way out because they become so good at it. Lying to themselves eve, I mean :/
I do hope you keep a dialogue going. Yes. :) This is how we learn! The only way we progress, really.
I don't mean to be cocky, but after the doctors I've met I'm glad I'm not one either.
It took some months of decision to put this out there. I won't be able to work in the industry now. For mainstream treatment clinics anyway. Which is what I trained for in the first place.
But as I began to see more of what was happening, I couldn't go into it. So a bit lost right now. As that was the plan. But look what I found here ❤️
There's always a way to share from the heart and connect with the right people. Those ones that are ready to hear the message you're sharing. Those that aren't ready, won't hear. But the ripple will spread because of the courage taken by the likes of you and others.
Thank you for the links, by the way. I've been watching Richard Grannon's videos on YouTube. I will be giving the Fortress exercises a go and sharing them with my daughters. My youngest has been suffering from acute anxiety, so I loved how he explained CPTSD.
I'd never heard of the 4th F (fawn) before but recognised it and how I move between all those states from time to time. Really interesting. 💛
